The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain The drifting journey down the Mississippi River on their raft, Huck and his friend Jim, a runaway slave, may be one of the most enduring images of escape and freedom in all of American literature. Although the society it satirized was already history at the time of publication, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was a quite controversial book and has remained so to this day. Mark Twain's sequel to Tom Sawyer, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was Intended at first as a simple story of a boy's adventures in the Mississippi Valley. The book grew and matured under Twain's hand into a work of immeasurable richness and complexity. More than a century after its publication, the critical debate over the symbolic significance of Huck's and Jim's voyage is still fresh, and it remains a major work that can be enjoyed at many levels: as an incomparable adventure story and as a classic of American humour.
